"A simple home-style dish: stir-fried beef with scallions."
After a series of skillful and practical steps, Lao Zhang had finished his first dish.
Jiang Chu felt as if he had returned to Earth, as if he had been transported to another world.
Eating dishes prepared using special techniques, Jiang Chu felt as if he had stumbled into a gourmet novel.
Old Zhang's cooking skills are truly remarkable. After the scallions are cooked, their pungent flavor is gone, replaced by the unique sweetness and aroma of scallions, and the beef is tender and flavorful.
At this moment, Lao Zhang also served everyone fruit juice drinks.
This tastes different from ordinary drinks; it has a subtle yet profound flavor.
"Should I put in some black tea?" Jiang Chu asked.
"You know your stuff," Old Zhang said. "You should come and support us often in the future."
"You're not easy to ask out," Jiang Chu said with a smile.
"We can add each other as friends and make an appointment in advance," Old Zhang said.
Jiang Chu nodded.
Jiang Chu was somewhat curious about Lao Zhang.
After all, it's quite unusual for someone of such a high rank to be willing to lower themselves to work as a cook in an ordinary small restaurant.
...
Old Zhang's restaurant requires reservations, but he also serves guests who come without reservations and makes sure they are well taken care of.
Moreover, relaxing music was playing in the room, making the experience very enjoyable.
However, Lao Zhang's restaurant closes at 9:30, which is his habit.
Jiang Chu and the others finished eating at 8 o'clock.
When Jiang Chu paid the bill, he found that the price of the meal was very reasonable.
The ingredients used are top-quality, but the price is not as expensive as you might imagine.
“This can serve as our base,” Jiang Chu said to Cai Wujin as they walked out of the restaurant.
"I told you this place was alright!" Cai Wujin laughed. "It's just that the owner is a bit mysterious. He's clearly at such a high level, yet he's willing to be a chef."
"That's hard to say," Jiang Chu said with a knowing smile.
Back in the villa area, Jiang Chu saw that Luo Xiaonan had just returned as well.
Our second-year students also had a get-together today. Like the Brotherhood, it was a dinner for twelve people, and the company commander, Luo Xiaonan, treated us.
The two looked at each other and smiled slightly.
"Where did you eat from?" Luo Xiaonan asked.
“It’s a nice place. I’ll treat you in a few days,” Jiang Chu said.
"Okay," Luo Xiaonan said.
"Come have a cup of tea with me, my bed is big and spacious," Jiang Chu said with a mischievous smile.
"Shameless!" Luo Xiaonan scolded, but still followed Jiang Chu.
Upon arriving at Jiang Chu's villa, Jiang Chu had already brewed tea.
After finishing his first drink, Luo Xiaonan said, "Three days from now, the Clay Army will officially start recruiting."
Jiang Chu nodded, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
His position as company commander of the 1st Brigade, 1st Division, 3rd Army of the Red Earth Corps has been finalized.
Jiang Chu had already come up with a name for the brigade: Brothers Brigade, which was easy to pronounce.
Jiang Chu would naturally bring all the members of the Brotherhood over.
Luo Xiaonan will be the brigade commander of the second brigade and has begun recruiting new members.
The two are comrades-in-arms, but they will not be competitors.
Luo Xiaonan mainly recruited second-year students, while Jiang Chu mainly recruited first-year students.
"Oh, right, there's something else. The exchange students from the Nike Empire will be coming to our school tomorrow," Luo Xiaonan added.
“Yes, Principal Qin told me about this,” Jiang Chu said. “They are all freshmen and sophomores, including some top students. By the way, Brotherhood also accepted one. She completed the monthly exam online and got first place in this monthly exam. When she comes over tomorrow, she will have to take the Brotherhood exam again.”
"Isn't that a bit inappropriate?" Luo Xiaonan frowned. "Let's not make them do a retest, after all, they're from our brother country."
"No, if you fail the retest, you still won't be eligible to join the Brotherhood. You'll have to wait until next month to take the test again," Jiang Chu said noncommittally.
"Do you know this person?" Luo Xiaonan asked.
“I don’t know it. The name is too long. My Nike language is ‘two-ba-dao’ (a slang term for someone who is not very good at languages), and there are a few strings that I can’t translate,” Jiang Chu said.
"Trash!" Luo Xiaonan scoffed. "Is it a girl or a boy?"
"She's a woman, quite pretty. She doesn't look like someone from the Black Pearl region; she looks more like someone from Aden," Jiang Chu said.
"Oh," Luo Xiaonan joked, "This is a good opportunity to develop this further."
"You damn pumpkin, if you're free, do you dare to lie down on my bed?" Jiang Chu said irritably.
"What are you doing, you pervert?" Luo Xiaonan's pretty face flushed red.
"You brat, you want a beating, don't you? Why are you always picking fights today? Want to fight?" Jiang Chu grabbed Luo Xiaonan by the neck.
Luo Xiaonan chuckled mischievously, "Seriously, you have many choices, but perhaps not..."
"Shut up!" Jiang Chu snapped, "My loyalty to you is unwavering!"
"The flag came early, and the slap in the face was well done."
Jiang Chu simply ignored her.
...
The next morning, when Jiang Chu entered Hall 3, he found a new face in the queue.
He was very tall, with a skin tone similar to his own, both being wheat-colored, but his eyes were jewel-like. He was tall and upright, exuding a wild charm.
Upon seeing Jiang Chu, she immediately broke into a happy smile.
Jiang Chu didn't recognize her, but politely walked over and saluted: "Hello, I'm Jiang Chu, the commander of the Brotherhood. Are you Kant... how should I address you?"
Jiang Chu felt somewhat helpless.
The other person's name was exceptionally long, consisting of more than 10 strings of names. This is a tradition among many people in the Black Pearl camp, whose names are composed of names given to them by their parents, family names, father's and grandfather's names, and tribe names.
